#1The Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network: A Collaborative Effort in Groundwater Resource Characterization UK UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY Kentucky Geological Survey Bart Davidson Kentucky Geological Survey and Robert J. Blair Kentucky Division of Water 9th National Monitoring Conference Cincinnati, Ohio April 28-May 2, 2014 Division of Water One of two related presentations on the Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network presented at the 2014 9th National Monitoring Conference in Cincinnati. This presentation focused on the history of how the Network was created and retrieving Network data online; the other presentation by Rob Blair of DOW focused on the mechanics of the Network and DOW's extended sampling programs.#2Starting with the Big Picture Geologic map of the United States, showing that Kentucky is situated between two large basins, the Illinois Basin and the Appalachian Basin. Between the basins is the uplifted Cincinnati Arch.#3Quaternary; 2 mya; sand, clay, gravel Quaternary and Tertiary; 1-5 mya; gravel and sand Tertiary; 30 mya; clay and sand Tertiary and Cretaceous; 60-70 mya; sand and clay Cretaceous; 85-95 mya; gravel and sand Geology of Kentucky Pennsylvanian; 290-325 mya; shale, sandstone and coal Mississippian; 325-360 mya; shale, limestone and sandstone Devonian; 360-410 mya; shale and limestone Silurian; 410-440 mya; dolomite and shale Ordovician; 440-510 mya; limestone, dolomite, shale Cambrian; 510-570 mya; dolomite, sandstone and shale Precambrian; >570 mya; (igneous and metamorphic rock) A B A B B' A' A' Kentucky's Eastern Coal Field is located within the Appalachian Basin and the Western Coal Field is located within the Illinois Basin. The Bluegrass Region and eastern Mississppian Plateaus (or eastern Pennyroyal) are situated on the Cincinnati Arch. Because of the arch, surface rocks were eroded away and the Bluegrass Region therefore has the oldest rocks in the state (see cross section A-A'). Kentucky does not have a single homogenous aquifer as do some other states, but rather several heterogeneous aquifers.#4SITE TYPE • Spring A Well Eastern Coal Field Eastern Pennyroyal Inner Blue Grass Knobs Outer Blue Grass Purchase Western Coal Field Western Pennyroyal The Network Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network sites (maintained by Kentucky Division of Water) The current 60 Network sites are shown on this physiographic region map, which closely resembles the previous geology map because geology controls topography and physiography.#5Karst Shallow Fracture Flow & Deep Granular - Consolidated Granular - Unconsolidated Granular (Ohio River Alluvium) Limited Availability (Localized Fractures & Minor Karst) Rob Blair, DOW General Aquifer Types This general aquifer type map was generated by Rob Blair, and shows the range of aquifers in the state, from fracture flow to granular, depending on location.#6Nada Tunnel Spring A few of the Network sample locations...

Nada Tunnel Spring in the Eastern Kentucky Coal Field and Dyer Spring in the Western Pennyroyal are shown here.#7Slough's WMA Well Vanceburg Well The City of Vanceburg's public water supply well is a Network site in the Eastern Pennyroyal region, and Slough's (pronounced "Slew") Wildlife Management Area well is in the Western Kentucky Coal Field near the Ohio River.#8KGS Kentucky Geological Survey University Of Kentucky Search KGS | Caras KGS KGS HUK H KGS Home Water Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network Contact Bart Davidson Groundwater is essential to the economy of Kentucky and to the health of its citizens. Despite its extensive use, until recently there was ittle systematic effort to describe groundwater quality and to make that information widely available Recognizing the importance of groundwater, the 1996 Kertucky General Assembly directed the Kentucky Geological Survey to establish a long- term, interagency groundwater monitoring network to characterize the quality, quantity, and distribution of groundwater in Kentucky (Kentucky Revised Statute 151.625) The major goals of the interagency Groundwater Montoring Network are to (1) collect groundwater data, (2) characterize groundwater quality, (3) distribute groundwater information, (4) improve coordination between agencies that collect groundwater data, and (5) facitate sharing of groundwater data Orteragency Technical Advisory Committee 1900) The network is assisted by an Interagency Technical Advisory Committee on Groundwater (TAC), which is composed of State, Federal, and university representatives The ITAC was estabeshed by KRS 151.629 Network Website The network has produced the folowing annual summaries and descriptions of network activities Annual Reports (PDF fi • 1999-2000 al report(0.3 Mb) 2000 2001 annual report (0.1 Mb) 2001-2002 annual port0.1 Mb) 2002-2003 anualsport.10.2 Mb) 2003-2004 annual report (0.3MB) 2004-2005 annual(5) 2005-2006 anualmport (1.27 mb) 2006-2007 actualspod (1.30mb) 2007 2000 aualpot (0.7mb) 2008 2009 aul07mb) 2009 2010 amualmepod (08 mb) 2010-2011 amualsport (12 m) 2011-2012 amuald (1.18 mb) 2012.2013 apo (1.42 mb) Monitoring Network Framework Document (PDF te describing the intial work of the interagency Technical Advisory Commitee regarding the establishment of the Kentucky Groundwater Montoring Network Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network sampling sites maintained by the Kentucky Division of Water 2 26 " . 7 Pest MOA " 01201 PM . 34 " " 21 90001254 Pest MOA Pest MOA 47172 Pest MOA Pest MOA The Kentucky Groundwater Monitoring Network (pdf files) Monitoring Network Framework Document (PDF the describing the initial work of the interagency Technical Advisory Commitee regarding the establishment of the Kentucky Groundwater Monitoring Network ...edbloubkAChamework.pdf (10) The Kentucky Groundwater Monitoring Network (pdf files) Statede Jackson Pechase Western Kentucky Coal Field PeralMassippian Plateau) Bluegrass and Knots Eastern Kentucky Coal Field Conference Proceedings (PDF) Fisher, RS, and Goodman, PT. 2002, Characterizing groundwater in Kentucky.

Natural Resources and Env. Protection Cabinet convened a Groundwater Consensus Committee to draft groundwater protection regulations. DOW, KWRRI and KGS participated. Between 1993 and 1994, KGS and KWRRI worked jointly on proposed legislation to create a groundwater monitoring network. History of the Network, slide 1.#11History of the Network, Continued • An ad hoc Interagency Technical Advisory Committee (ITAC) met through 1995 and 1996, and drafted a framework document for the Network. About 10 agencies were represented at these meetings. • The proposed legislation did not pass in either the 1994 or 1996 Legislature In 1998, the Kentucky General Assembly passed two important, but unfunded, statutes: 1. KRS 151.625 established the Groundwater Monitoring Network 2. KRS 151.629 established the KY Interagency Technical Advisory Committee History of the Network, slide 2.#12KRS 151.625 Establishment of long-term groundwater monitoring network -- Duties. 1. The KGS shall, in cooperation with the Interagency Technical Advisory Committee on Groundwater, establish a long-term groundwater monitoring network for the purpose of characterizing the quality, quantity, and distribution of Kentucky's groundwater resources. 2. The monitoring network shall include: (a) Representative sites sampled by various agencies; (b) Water wells, springs, and surface water associated with wells and springs; and (c) New monitoring wells installed in areas of demonstrated need. This network shall collect information on a statewide basis and provide long-term data collection to determine the quality, quantity, and occurrence of groundwater throughout the Commonwealth. I debated putting the actual legislation wording in my talk, but thought there may be people in the audience who are trying to develop a network for their state who may be interested in seeing exactly how the law is worded. This slide and the two following contain the exact wording of the Kentucky Revised Statute that established the Network.#13KRS 151.625, Continued. 3. The KGS shall utilize collected data to support research efforts that develop models for groundwater systems, and to determine and monitor trends of groundwater movement, water quality, and quantity. 4. The KGS shall provide data from the network to the Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository and make the data readily available to the public, government agencies, industry, and other entities that request access. Analyzed data maybe made available in the form of maps, charts, bulletins, and reports. 5. The KGS shall solicit input from federal, state, and local agencies, and industry, agriculture, universities, and the public to determine priority monitoring locations based on water quality and quantity concerns as the network is developed. Legislation for the Network, slide 2.#14KRS 151.625, Continued. 6. Within ninety (90) days of the end of each state fiscal year, the KGS shall provide to the Governor and the Legislative Research Commission a summary of the groundwater monitoring network data collection and analysis activities.

Sendlein, Director Kentucky Water Resources Research Institute Framework Document: 1996 First report of the ad hoc ITAC committee April 1996 The ad hoc ITAC committee (prior to legislation being enacted for the committee) completed a framework document outlining the design and function of the Network in 1996.#19Goals of the Network from Framework Document 1. Collect groundwater data 2. Characterize groundwater quality 3. Distribute groundwater information 4. Improve coordination between agencies that collect groundwater data 5. Facilitate sharing of groundwater data Goals of the Network as outlined by the ad hoc ITAC committee in 1996.#20Proposed Monitoring Strategies 1. Past and ongoing groundwater projects were identified by physiographic region 2. Separate monitoring strategies were proposed for each of seven major physiographic/geologic regions 3. Three sampling teams proposed taking total of 800 samples per year, using standard methods 4. Analyses were to include field measurements, nutrients, pesticides, major ions, inorganics, radio-metrics, metals Proposed monitoring strategy summary of the Network as outlined by the ad hoc ITAC committee in 1996.#21Monitoring Strategies by Region Bluegrass Region Eastern Coal Field The KENTUCKY Ground-Water Monitoring NETWORK Blue Grass & Knobs Perspective Aquifers Condition of supplies Network How much information is available!

The ultimate goal was to ensure that Network data was compiled in and disseminated by the Kentucky Groundwater Data Repository, which is indeed the case today.#23Framework Document Recommendations 1. All current groundwater data and all groundwater data to be collected in the future should be put into a standard format for entry into the Repository 2. 641 sampling sites should be installed across the state for annual sampling 3. One-time sampling for 120 locations (one per county) 4. Areas requiring more intense study should be identified and monitored as “Intense Study Areas" Recommendations by the ad hoc ITAC committee in the 1996 Framework document for design of the Network. At the time, major funding was thought to be achievable to support such a robust Network. The current Network represents about 10 percent of the original planned Network.#24Suggested Parameters in Framework Document (~60) Field Measurements Major Ions Nutrients Bicarbonate Nitrate-Nitrogen PH Carbonate Nitrite-Nitrogen Pesticides 2,4-D Alachlor Conductance Chloride Ammonia-Nitrogen Atrazine Temperature Dissolved Oxygen Sulfate Total Organic Carbon Cyanazine Potassium Orthophosphate Metolachlor Salinity Magnesium Simazine Turbidity Calcium Metals Odor Aluminum Lead Sodium Inorganics Radio- Antimony Lithium Strontium Arsenic Acidity Magnesium Sulfur metrics Barium Alkalinity Manganese Thallium Tritium Fluoride Beryllium Nickel Tin Gross alpha Bromide Cadmium Phosphorus Vanadium radiation Calcium Potassium Zinc Chromium Mercury Copper Selenium Gold Silicon Iron Silver The Framework Document recommended about 60 analytes in 7 categories for the sampling regime.#25Bulk Current Parameters for the Network (~58) Major Ions Pesticides Nutrients PH Bicarbonate Nitrate-Nitrogen 2,4-D Conductance Carbonate Nitrite-Nitrogen Alachlor Temperature Chloride Ammonia-Nitrogen Atrazine TSS Sulfate TDS Potassium Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen Total Organic Carbon Cyanazine Magnesium Calcium Total Phosphorus Metolachlor Simazine Ortho-Phosphate Nitrogen/ Chlorine Phosphorus Flourine Chlorinated Sulphate Pesticides Organics Inorganics VOC's Benzene Toluene Metals Aluminum Lead Sulfur Arsenic Magnesium Zinc Ethyl Benzene Barium Manganese Xylene Cadmium Nickel MTBE Calcium Potassium Herbicides PCBs Caffeine Chromium Selenium Copper Silver Iron Sodium The analytes sampled for today in the current Network are not too different from those suggested in 1996.

In Kentucky, arsenic is commonly found in sulfide minerals associated with coal and black shales. It is released when these sutides oxidize during weathering. Once released, arsenic is readily sorbed onto iron oxides and oxxyhydroxides. This sorption can limit dissolved arsenic concentrations in groundwater, but can produce high total arsenic concentrations in unfiltered groundwater samples that contain suspended particulate material. Arsenic can undergo biochemical processes to form complex ions that are not readily removed from solution by sorption onto soils or the aquifer matric Arsenic is used as a wood preservative and in paints, dyes, metals, drugs, soaps, semiconductors, animal feed additives, and pesticides. From 1880 through 1910, arsenic was heavily used in embalming fluids. It was banned in 1910 because it interfered with investigations into suspected poisoning deaths, but old graveyards may still contribute arsenic to groundwater. Waste-disposal sites and landfills may be sources of arsenic contamination because of the materials placed there, co al burning can release arsenic, and agricultural drainage can carry arsenic from pesticides into the groundwater. Hydrocarbons from leaking underground storage tanks can dissolve iron oxide minerals in soils, thus releasing naturally occurring arsenic to the environment Long-term exposure to arsenic in drinking water has been linked to cancer of the skin. bladder, lungs, kidneys, nas al passages, liver, and prostate. Arsenic has also been linked to damage of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, immunological, neurological, and endocrine systems. Because of these heath effects, the EPA set the Maximum Contaminant Level for arsenic in drinking water at 0.050 mg/L in 1974. In 2001, the EPA announced that this would be lowered to 0.010 mg/L, effective January 2006.

Despite its extensive use, until recently there was little systematic effort to describe groundwater quality and to make that information widely available. Recognizing the importance of groundwater, the 1998 Kentucky General Assembly directed the Kentucky Geological Survey to establish a long- term, interagency groundwater monitoring network to characterize the quality, quantity, and distribution of groundwater in Kentucky (Kentucky Revised Statute 151.625) The major goals of the Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network are to (1) collect groundwater data, (2) characterize groundwater quality, (3) distribute groundwater information, (4) improve coordination between agencies that collect groundwater data, and (5) facilitate sharing of groundwater data Onteragency Technical Advisory Committee, 1996). The network is assisted by an Interagency Technical Advisory Committee on Groundwater (TAC), which is composed of State, Federal, and university representatives. The ITAC was established by KBS 151.629 SITE TYPE Kentucky Interagency Groundwater Monitoring Network sampling sites maintained by the Kentucky Division of Water Map GWA 1 000045 25 90002934 $1 2 000054 27 50 52 00005149 28 50 53 0045 90000544 29 50 54 50 30 00012311 0 15 00001200 Pest MOA 69000062 о 21 20 56 90000624 Pest MOA 000702 00000703 32 50 57 90001150 Pest MOA 33 00028100 SO 00001201 Pest MOA 34 59 90001460 Pest MOA 10 0000710 50 36 50 60 90001475 Pest MOA 61 00055953 Pest MOA 62 15 90001134 63 00011290 Pest MOA 64 90000458 Pest MOA 00029983 Pest MOA 1790001143 41 00030374 42 50 00043250 Pest MOA 00043253 Pest MOA 190001145 20 43 00042904 о 00043258 Pest MOA 1900001149 20 00047172 Pest MOA 20 90001101 45 21 90001254 50 46 80045812 20 70 71 00047175 Pest MOA 00043559 Pest MOA 22 90001343 20 23 00001344 20 47 80046813 00065002 20 72 00055310 24 90001822 75 90002823 90000315 Pest MOA Pest MOA 25 90001857 о 00061854 Select AKGWA Number of site Selecting site of interest on Network map by copying AKGWA number to place in "Method" box on previous slide.#40KGS Kentucky Geological Survey University Of Kentucky Search KGS | Contact KGS | KGS Home | UK Home send us feedback tutorials KGS Home > Data.
